What is the power rating of a home charging station?
1 Answers
Generally, home charging stations are slow-charging stations with a power of 7 kW and a current of 32A, using two-phase electricity. There are also portable chargers with currents of 8A, 10A, 12A, or 16A, and power ratings ranging from 1.6 kW to 3 kW. However, considering voltage loss, the actual power is usually slightly lower. Definition: Charging power usually refers to the charging power of a transmission line, also known as reactive power. When the line is too long, there will be capacitance to the ground. The reactive power generated by the line's capacitance current is called the line's charging power. Classification of charging stations: Charging stations are divided into two categories: AC stations and DC stations. Generally, AC stations have a power of 7 kW and use a 220V single-phase power supply. DC stations have multiple power levels, such as 30, 60, 100, 150, and 200 kW. The actual charging process is determined by the matching result between the electric vehicle's battery parameters and the charging station, and it changes with the charging state. Home charging station installation process: 1. Confirm charging conditions: First, determine whether there is a fixed parking space in the residential area and whether the property management agrees to install a charging station. Simply put, if you get the property management's approval, you're halfway there. 2. Apply for a power supply plan: After signing the car purchase contract, you or the 4S shop can apply to the local power supply company for an electricity installation application. Once the power supply company provides a reply to the power supply plan, you can complete the formalities with the power supply company within the validity period. 3. Installation construction: After the power supply plan is confirmed, the construction of the charging facility can begin. It is important to note that the charging station model must comply with national requirements, and the most suitable charging equipment for your electric vehicle brand should be selected. 4. Apply for inspection: After the charging station construction is completed, you can apply to the power supply company for an inspection. Once the inspection is passed, the power supply company will complete the meter installation and power connection, and you can start charging.
